Team 1 helped AlloSource streamline their tissue donation process and mitigate ergonomic safety concerns through a design engineered to retrofit the company鈥檚 capping machine. The system auto-delivers vials to the machine using a Geneva drive mechanism to get capped to a specified torque, a process necessary to maintain sterile integrity.
